Relatives remember Japanese submariners in Australian ceremony

SYDNEY, Australia - Kazutomo Ban, 74, (3rd L) and other relatives of two Japanese sailors who died in a midget submarine during an attack on Sydney Harbour during World War II, pose with Neil Roberts (2nd L), the only Australian survivor in the Australian naval vessel Kuttabul which was torpedoed during the attack, during a memorial service in Sydney on Aug. 6.
